Becoming a PCB designer

I'm already an EE, I really like laying out PCBs I can spend days doing it, measuring components, reading datasheets, however after looking for jobs for a while to do this and i haven't found a single one, to do layout only

PCB Design seems to be a full specialization, however companies expect you to do the programming, product design, industrial design, design pcb, h igh and Appvn low level programming... which i am capable but... I would like to just do PCB layout is there such a job about this? SHAREit

would getting certified on IPC-A-610, IPC-J-STD-001, IPC-7711\IPC-7721 help me get me a job designing PCBs?

Any suggestions of a program, masters, course i can do to just to live by doing this? UC Browser

Go to IPC.org (http://www.ipc.org/ContentPage.aspx?pageid=IPC-Designer-Programs-and-Certification) and take the CID (and possibly) the CID+ course. The standards are useful, but boring in detail.
